Ranger acquires American Well Services for $90.5 million, adding 39 workover rigs and boosting its fleet by 25%.
In this third work in a series, the authors conduct transfer-learning validation with a robust real-field data set for hydraulic fracturing design.
This paper describes development of a high-temperature water-based reservoir drill-in fluid using a novel synthetic polymer and customized with optimal chemical concentrations and sized calcium carbonate.

This paper discusses tools and techniques used to localize a tubing leak in a horizontally completed multilateral well, identifying the bore responsible for sand production and providing relative sand quantification at differing flow rates. -
Two firms are using hydraulic fracturing to create high-pressure water reservoirs that can be turned on and off to meet electricity demand.
-
Part 4 of this series provides an overview of ongoing research and recent technology improvements within the US taking place in both academia and the service industry.
-
Optimizing and continually increasing efficiencies at every stage of the drilling and completion process are central themes in the papers showcased in this feature. Innovating our way through difficult times is what the oil and gas industry excels at, especially during challenging periods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the offshore energy industry faced immense strugg…

The authors of this paper describe a project in which retrofitted autonomous inflow control devices were deployed successfully in a field to minimize water production and maximize oil recovery.
-
SponsoredWhat are we, in the upstream oilfield service companies, doing about it? The Middle East upstream oil and gas industry is shifting its focus to unconventional and tight-gas resource development.
-
The oil and gas industry-backed geothermal firm plans to drill up to 29 wells in southwestern Utah that will deliver electricity to the state's grid by 2026.
-
The natural fractures discovered on Mars during rover missions might be so important that they are worth bringing back to Earth.
-
The Oklahoma independent agreed to acquire the assets of three private companies in its quest to scale up in the Permian's Delaware Basin.
